A barista's feedback on my pour over ratio fixed my morning coffee

Last Tuesday I was stuck with a free morning after my gym class got canceled. So I hit up this small coffee shop in Portland. I was complaining about my home brew tasting bitter and harsh. The barista, this older guy named Ray, asked what ratio I used. I said 1 to 14 and he just shook his head. He said try 1 to 17 with a coarser grind. I was skeptical but I went home and tried it that same afternoon. Took about 3 cups to dial it in but now it's smooth and I actually taste the fruit notes. Has anyone else had a simple ratio tweak turn their whole routine around?
